Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: March 2026

                In Compliance with FTC Guidelines: Paw Path Picks is a participant in affiliate programs. When you click product links and make purchases, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions support our testing, research, and production of honest reviews.
            

What Are Affiliate Links?

An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks clicks and purchases. When you click an affiliate link on our site and purchase from the retailer, we earn a small commission from that sale. You don't pay any extra—the price you pay is the same whether you click our link or go directly to the retailer.

Which Products Have Affiliate Links?

Most product recommendations on Paw Path Picks include affiliate links to major retailers such as Amazon, Chewy, and manufacturers' websites. These links help us earn the resources needed to maintain this site, conduct product testing, and continue producing honest reviews.

When you see product links labeled "Shop on Amazon," "View at Chewy," or similar, these are affiliate links.

How We Choose Products

Our recommendations are based on:

Personal hands-on testing
User feedback and reviews from verified purchasers
Technical specifications and performance data
Value for money and pricing comparison
Durability and long-term reliability

We never recommend products solely because they offer the highest commission. Our primary goal is to help you make informed purchasing decisions.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, Paw Path Picks provides this affiliate disclosure. We believe in transparency and want to be clear about our business relationships.

All statements on our site are our own opinions based on our testing and research. We are not affiliated with the manufacturers of products we review, except through affiliate programs that are clearly disclosed.

No Additional Cost to You

When you use our affiliate links, you pay exactly the same price as if you went directly to the retailer. There are no hidden fees or markups. The commission we earn comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your purchase price.

What We Do With Commissions

Affiliate commissions help us:

Purchase products for hands-on testing
Conduct independent research and analysis
Maintain and improve our website
Create comprehensive, original reviews and guides
Keep our content free and accessible to all readers

Your Trust Matters

We value your trust above all else. If we ever recommend a product we don't genuinely believe in, or if we're unsure about a product's quality, we'll be honest with you about it. Our reputation depends on giving you honest, reliable advice.
